Troy Stecher is getting a lot of play as a possible selection. Back to the region, and he played for Dave Hakstol at North Dakota...

Great point, I could definitely see Stecher being their selection.

I'd be picking Namesnikov or Cholowski maybe even Svechnikov before I stoop so low taking Stecher.

Seattle is dumber than I thought if they take Stecher

Kraken can find a player like Zac Mac in the bargain bin if they want.

I imagine they’ll go with the higher ceiling and take someone like Lind.

exactly - when I said "Ideally" I meant hopefully they don't pick Lind but he's the obvious choice I think.

Pipe dream - It would be beautiful if they took Roussel or Highmore

I see what you did there


Stecher isn’t a cap dump though and he’s gone next year if they don’t like him

Just did the capfriendly Seattle selections. Ended up with 15 defensemen. Took Cholowski from Detroit and Lind from Canucks.

Was reading more on JD.

Curious to see how he is deployed when the roster is set.

I’m not thrilled about having JD as 3C and Beagle as 4C.

Ideally they can play together as a shut down line I suppose, with JD on the wing if Beagle is good to go.

Had to go back an re-do it. Didn't end up with enough forwards. Lol

I think Benning will add some more offense during these next few weeks.

I am hoping to see some big changes on defense, at least 2...or 5.

My guess, is 5 minutes after expansion draft is complete, the Canucks buyout Jake.

The site doesn't give you a running tally of what position or what the cap is at.

What did you end up with? I think capfriendly let’s you link your team after. I’m going to take a krak at it myself later today.

I don't think there's a prayer in hell that Seattle take Holtby. You guys are setting yourselves up for disappointment.
We know they're taking Dreidger. There's a ton of better options available in terms of age, stats, contract status, $$$$, upside, future plans

Still trying to figure out how to make the necessary changes. Need at least 2 more forwards and haven't reached the cap floor yet, but have several free agents on the list, both UFA and RFA.

If they take Holtby, it’s to flip him to another team.

I believe Lind is an RFA so that might not be attractive to Seattle if there are 10 better non contract players available.

Oh ya, I argued for that as well. It would have been nicer to have better players than Motte to protect, but he's a good player. I think Don was the loudest person going against him
- NewYorkNuck

Of course he was. It's 2 sided for sure, at least we won't lose anyone of major consequence
